Reason 1986 63 at 7:30 between Rio Colorado & Rio Negro, then another 1q in the next half hour before dusk, area 3 hares and 1 pole small long-tailed mink - eat the pigeon of a house cat. Dec 17 Sultry Cold, Sunny and almost calm all day. Checked traps with Alberto & Marcelo in the rocks above the house - lots of dried-up berbergran/thorny scrub; one Groomyp. In the afternoon went to Syn's study area and put out a line of 25 MS through the viscarada (Lore & Sarea), some of them at burrows. Also a line of 15 Sherman, 15 MS, 2 cage, and 4 steel, mostly in very dense bunch grass and a few Prosopis. Anita put out about 20 MS and 6 steel and 30 MS worth of viscarada traps in the rocks below the house. Boye put out 20 short MS at 9 p.m. went to the study area and watched viscarada, Syn says maybe 50-75 individuals live within 100m of the tower. We saw maybe 12 on the area and another 10 or 15 on the way home. Light wind, smokey air. Saw several titranous at 6 p.m. (martinatas) Dec 18 Wind came up during the night and was ferocious all day with smoky dust restricting visibility to a few hundred yards at times. The trap lines in lush berbergran - nothing. Tinks on rocky hill 1 marmon, my two across viscarada, 2 chedon carius and 1 chingolo. Other river had 2 Eligiro, 1 Calomyp, 1 Chasmyp, and 2 more
